1
00:00:02,670 --> 00:00:06,590
Previously on 'The Making
of the Mob: New York'...
2
00:00:06,757 --> 00:00:08,718
Charles 'Lucky' Luciano
3
00:00:08,884 --> 00:00:11,470
has transformed himself
from a low-level thug
4
00:00:11,637 --> 00:00:13,806
to become the most
powerful Mob boss
5
00:00:13,973 --> 00:00:15,641
in the American Mafia.
6
00:00:17,101 --> 00:00:19,437
Deported to Italy by
the US government,
7
00:00:19,603 --> 00:00:21,439
Luciano still finds a way
8
00:00:21,605 --> 00:00:24,275
to assert his power
in the United States.
9
00:00:24,442 --> 00:00:26,527
We're gonna be bringing a
lot more heroin into the country.
10
00:00:26,694 --> 00:00:28,487
And with the money pouring in,
11
00:00:28,654 --> 00:00:32,616
he invests heavily in
Bugsy Siegel's vision
12
00:00:33,617 --> 00:00:35,453
of Las Vegas.
13
00:00:36,704 --> 00:00:37,705
I see people,
14
00:00:37,872 --> 00:00:39,832
hotels,
15
00:00:39,999 --> 00:00:42,001
casinos, and money.
16
00:00:42,168 --> 00:00:43,544
And lots of money.
17
00:00:43,711 --> 00:00:45,921
But the plan backfires...
18
00:00:46,088 --> 00:00:48,507
Meyer, this isn't good.
19
00:00:48,674 --> 00:00:50,718
There's a lot of money
unaccounted for.
20
00:00:51,719 --> 00:00:54,138
...and Siegel pays
the ultimate price.
21
00:00:58,934 --> 00:01:01,187
With one of his
original crew dead,
22
00:01:01,353 --> 00:01:04,398
another threat emerges
from Luciano's inner circle...
23
00:01:04,565 --> 00:01:06,817
You're holding me down, Charlie.
24
00:01:06,984 --> 00:01:09,862
How's it feel to know you're
never going back to New York?
25
00:01:12,073 --> 00:01:16,202
...as disgraced mobster Vito
Genovese fights to regain power,
26
00:01:16,368 --> 00:01:18,746
breaking ties with Luciano
27
00:01:18,913 --> 00:01:21,373
and joining forces with
a rising underboss...
28
00:01:21,540 --> 00:01:22,541
So what are you waiting for?
29
00:01:22,708 --> 00:01:25,377
The right opportunity.
30
00:01:26,420 --> 00:01:28,923
...to take control of the Mafia.

Don't do this!
- Start walking. Start walking!
43
00:02:42,788 --> 00:02:45,291
No! Listen to me.
- Keep walking.
44
00:03:18,991 --> 00:03:20,993
In April of 1951,
45
00:03:21,160 --> 00:03:22,745
Vincent Mangano,
46
00:03:22,912 --> 00:03:25,289
the head of one of the
five New York families,
47
00:03:25,456 --> 00:03:27,666
is murdered.
48
00:03:27,833 --> 00:03:30,377
For the first time since
the Commission was formed
49
00:03:30,544 --> 00:03:34,173
20 years earlier by
Charles 'Lucky' Luciano,
50
00:03:34,340 --> 00:03:38,010
a Mob boss has been
violently removed from power.
51
00:03:39,053 --> 00:03:43,682
The hit on Mangano was ordered
by his underboss, Albert Anastasia,
52
00:03:43,849 --> 00:03:46,769
so he could take
control of the family.
53
00:03:46,936 --> 00:03:48,354
{\an8}The Commission,
54
00:03:48,520 --> 00:03:51,482
{\an8}this was really to
protect each family,
55
00:03:51,649 --> 00:03:53,442
{\an8}uh, so that they
had a certain type
56
00:03:53,609 --> 00:03:55,611
of respect and control.
57
00:03:55,778 --> 00:03:57,529
And for a while it worked.
58
00:03:57,696 --> 00:03:58,864
Hey, get in here.
59
00:03:59,031 --> 00:04:02,368
But, I mean, everybody
wanted to move up.
60
00:04:10,376 --> 00:04:12,086
4,000 miles away,
61
00:04:12,253 --> 00:04:15,631
Lucky Luciano
is in exile in Italy
62
00:04:15,798 --> 00:04:19,718
and is forced to watch his
criminal empire turn to chaos
63
00:04:20,719 --> 00:04:23,472
as gangsters begin
vying for power.
64
00:04:23,639 --> 00:04:26,892
With no hope of
returning to America,
65
00:04:27,059 --> 00:04:30,771
Luciano must rely on
his advisor, Meyer Lansky,
66
00:04:30,938 --> 00:04:35,401
and acting boss of the Luciano
crime family, Frank Costello,
67
00:04:35,567 --> 00:04:38,112
to keep his operation intact.
68
00:04:38,279 --> 00:04:41,615
I want what I said,
specifically what I said,
69
00:04:41,782 --> 00:04:43,409
on the official record.
70
00:04:43,575 --> 00:04:46,912
But after Costello's disastrous
testimony to the US Senate,
71
00:04:47,079 --> 00:04:49,957
the other families start
to see him as weak.
72
00:04:51,125 --> 00:04:54,378
And Vito Genovese has
teamed up with Carlo Gambino
73
00:04:54,545 --> 00:04:56,547
to try to reclaim his position
74
00:04:56,714 --> 00:04:59,049
at the head of
the Luciano family.
75
00:04:59,216 --> 00:05:01,427
Vito Genovese
comes back to America.
76
00:05:01,593 --> 00:05:02,928
{\an8}He's very envious.
77
00:05:03,095 --> 00:05:06,557
{\an8}There was a lot of evidence he was...
felt that he had been shortchanged
78
00:05:06,724 --> 00:05:08,600
{\an8}and he isn't getting a
fair share from Costello.
79
00:05:08,767 --> 00:05:12,604
And he just figures
he deserves the job.
80
00:05:13,731 --> 00:05:16,817
With Genovese
gunning for his position,
81
00:05:16,984 --> 00:05:20,362
Frank Costello begins to
crack under the pressure.
82
00:06:04,406 --> 00:06:07,034
The worst part of the
Mob was always the threat
83
00:06:07,201 --> 00:06:09,661
of being killed
by your own kind.
84
00:06:10,829 --> 00:06:13,749
So you have this weight that
you're carrying around with you.
85
00:06:13,916 --> 00:06:16,460
You can only put so
much weight on a table
86
00:06:16,627 --> 00:06:17,669
and eventually it's gonna break.
87
00:06:21,090 --> 00:06:23,008
Can't talk to anybody.
88
00:06:24,093 --> 00:06:26,345
I'm not even supposed
to be talking to you.
89
00:06:27,513 --> 00:06:29,014
Go on.
90
00:06:31,809 --> 00:06:34,978
I gotta wake up every morning
and look over my shoulder, Doc.
91
00:06:36,897 --> 00:06:39,149
Why do you have to
look over your shoulder?
92
00:06:39,316 --> 00:06:41,318
Doc, I'm gonna be walking
down the street one day,
93
00:06:41,485 --> 00:06:42,569
I'm gonna get a
bullet in my head.
94
00:06:42,736 --> 00:06:45,364
What am I supposed to do?
95
00:06:45,531 --> 00:06:47,157
Tell me what to do.
96
00:06:47,324 --> 00:06:49,827
Going to a psychiatrist
97
00:06:49,993 --> 00:06:52,371
would've been
perceived as weakness.
98
00:06:52,538 --> 00:06:55,416
Who would believe a mobster
would go to a psychiatrist?
99
00:06:55,582 --> 00:06:58,210
It sounds like he's setting
himself up to be killed.
100
00:07:01,046 --> 00:07:05,300
But Costello isn't able to
keep his visits a secret for long.
101
00:07:11,557 --> 00:07:13,392
It's been a rough
couple of months, Frank.
102
00:07:13,559 --> 00:07:14,560
I know that.
103
00:07:14,726 --> 00:07:16,687
We're busting our
asses out there.
104
00:07:16,854 --> 00:07:18,272
So am I, trust me.
105
00:07:18,439 --> 00:07:20,274
That's not how we hear it.
106
00:07:20,441 --> 00:07:23,277
Look, Frank, nobody has
challenged your authority.
107
00:07:23,444 --> 00:07:24,903
But a shrink?
108
00:07:26,655 --> 00:07:28,907
You guys are blowing this
whole thing way out of proportion.
109
00:07:29,074 --> 00:07:31,076
I was just doing
what I need to do
110
00:07:31,243 --> 00:07:33,370
to lead this family.
111
00:07:37,541 --> 00:07:38,750
Listen, Frank,
112
00:07:38,917 --> 00:07:40,252
you do what you gotta do.
113
00:07:40,419 --> 00:07:41,920
But remember,
114
00:07:42,087 --> 00:07:44,214
we will, too.
115
00:07:55,392 --> 00:07:56,393
Hello?
116
00:07:56,560 --> 00:07:58,395
I need muscle.
117
00:07:58,562 --> 00:08:00,022
I need Moretti.
118
00:08:00,189 --> 00:08:03,025
What? Frank, what's going on?
119
00:08:03,192 --> 00:08:05,194
Moretti always had Lucky's back.
120
00:08:05,360 --> 00:08:07,446
And he's never backed
down from anybody.
121
00:08:07,613 --> 00:08:10,115
You gotta tell me
what's going on, Frank.
122
00:08:10,282 --> 00:08:12,034
I don't know.
123
00:08:12,201 --> 00:08:14,912
But I'm not gonna
sit around to find out.
124
00:08:16,622 --> 00:08:18,415
I'll make the call.
125
00:08:26,215 --> 00:08:27,799
To keep himself safe,
126
00:08:27,966 --> 00:08:31,345
Costello's enlisted the
protection of Willie Moretti,
127
00:08:32,346 --> 00:08:34,431
a ruthless mobster
from New Jersey
128
00:08:34,598 --> 00:08:38,310
with deep ties to Luciano
and his crime family.
129
00:08:47,861 --> 00:08:50,155
With an army of 60 thugs,
130
00:08:50,322 --> 00:08:54,785
Moretti and his crew protect
Costello around the clock,
131
00:09:00,374 --> 00:09:03,835
guaranteeing that a hit on the
acting head of the Luciano family
132
00:09:04,002 --> 00:09:06,213
will be next to impossible.
133
00:09:16,056 --> 00:09:18,559
Vito Genovese and his new ally,
134
00:09:18,725 --> 00:09:21,770
Mangano family
underboss Carlo Gambino,
135
00:09:21,937 --> 00:09:23,814
meet secretly to strategize.
136
00:09:23,981 --> 00:09:26,191
Salute.
- Salute.
137
00:09:32,030 --> 00:09:33,448
To get to Costello,
138
00:09:33,615 --> 00:09:37,119
the gangsters will have
to eliminate his protection.
139
00:09:37,286 --> 00:09:38,996
Why does Moretti have an army
140
00:09:39,162 --> 00:09:41,373
protecting Frank
Costello all of a sudden?
141
00:09:42,874 --> 00:09:44,084
Me.
142
00:09:47,379 --> 00:09:48,755
You know, Carlo,
143
00:09:48,922 --> 00:09:51,216
if we wanna be
legitimate bosses,
144
00:09:51,383 --> 00:09:53,927
we gotta get the
Commission to give its okay.
145
00:09:55,387 --> 00:09:57,389
And Frank's on the
damn Commission.
146
00:09:57,556 --> 00:10:00,100
It's still the Luciano family.
147
00:10:00,267 --> 00:10:02,185
So, what, Lucky's
gonna listen to me?
148
00:10:02,352 --> 00:10:03,729
No, he won't.
149
00:10:03,895 --> 00:10:06,148
But he might listen to me.
150
00:10:10,277 --> 00:10:12,988
Gambino realizes to
order a hit on Moretti,
151
00:10:13,155 --> 00:10:17,951
he'll have to convince Luciano
that the Mob is better off without him.
152
00:10:18,118 --> 00:10:20,746
And he thinks he has an angle.
153
00:10:20,912 --> 00:10:22,914
For months,
154
00:10:23,081 --> 00:10:25,250
Moretti has been
exhibiting strange behavior
155
00:10:25,417 --> 00:10:29,254
and speaking too
freely about Mob activity.
156
00:10:29,421 --> 00:10:31,923
Many believe his brain
may be deteriorating
157
00:10:32,090 --> 00:10:34,926
due to the effects
of advanced syphilis.
158
00:10:52,653 --> 00:10:54,321
We gotta talk about Moretti.
159
00:10:54,488 --> 00:10:55,822
So talk.
160
00:10:55,989 --> 00:10:59,034
The man's not well.
161
00:10:59,201 --> 00:11:01,161
He's been shooting his
mouth off to the cops,
162
00:11:01,328 --> 00:11:03,455
politicians.
163
00:11:03,622 --> 00:11:05,040
He's lost his mind.
164
00:11:05,207 --> 00:11:07,751
If he's sick, you
take him to a doctor.
165
00:11:07,918 --> 00:11:10,212
It's too late for that.
166
00:11:10,379 --> 00:11:12,339
It'd be a mercy killing.
167
00:11:12,506 --> 00:11:14,132
Killing?
168
00:11:14,299 --> 00:11:16,301
You don't kill Moretti.
169
00:11:16,468 --> 00:11:20,555
He's a good friend of
mine. A decent man.
170
00:11:20,722 --> 00:11:22,724
If he dies from the
clap, that's one thing.
171
00:11:22,891 --> 00:11:25,644
Someone's gotta make
a tough decision here.
172
00:11:25,811 --> 00:11:27,771
Between Moretti and Costello,
173
00:11:27,938 --> 00:11:29,981
the hearings and the press,
174
00:11:30,148 --> 00:11:32,150
our business is going to hell.
175
00:11:32,317 --> 00:11:34,277
And Frank's not doing
a damn thing about it.
176
00:11:34,444 --> 00:11:36,613
You got a problem
with Costello now?
177
00:11:36,780 --> 00:11:39,116
It's not just me.
178
00:11:39,282 --> 00:11:40,701
It's everyone.
179
00:11:40,867 --> 00:11:43,078
It's the whole damn Commission.
180
00:11:43,245 --> 00:11:46,915
Carlo, I am the Commission.
181
00:11:47,082 --> 00:11:49,292
Charlie, look...
- No.
182
00:11:49,459 --> 00:11:51,670
The answer's no.
183
00:11:58,260 --> 00:12:00,178
In 1951,
184
00:12:00,345 --> 00:12:02,848
Carlo Gambino and Vito Genovese
185
00:12:03,014 --> 00:12:06,184
are determined to seize
power in the underworld.
186
00:12:07,185 --> 00:12:08,979
To move up in the Mob,
187
00:12:09,146 --> 00:12:12,023
they know their next step
is taking out Willie Moretti,
188
00:12:12,190 --> 00:12:15,527
a hit that's been refused
by Lucky Luciano.
189
00:12:15,694 --> 00:12:19,990
Now the gangsters must decide
whether to make a dangerous move...
190
00:12:20,157 --> 00:12:22,868
going directly against
Luciano's orders
191
00:12:23,034 --> 00:12:26,371
and eliminating the
protector of his acting boss,
192
00:12:26,538 --> 00:12:28,540
Frank Costello.
193
00:12:39,968 --> 00:12:41,595
Your steak, sir.
194
00:13:11,041 --> 00:13:14,002
After Gambino and
Genovese defy Luciano
195
00:13:14,169 --> 00:13:15,921
and take out Moretti,
196
00:13:16,087 --> 00:13:18,673
Luciano's advisor Meyer Lansky
197
00:13:18,840 --> 00:13:22,552
fears the future of the Luciano
crime family is at stake...
198
00:13:23,970 --> 00:13:26,890
...and calls a meeting with
influential Commission member
199
00:13:27,057 --> 00:13:28,600
Joe Bonanno.
200
00:13:29,601 --> 00:13:31,603
The Mangano hit blindsided us
201
00:13:31,770 --> 00:13:33,104
as much as it did you.
202
00:13:33,271 --> 00:13:36,066
I had no idea.
- And what about Willie Moretti?
203
00:13:36,233 --> 00:13:38,735
You knew he was
protecting Frank.
204
00:13:39,736 --> 00:13:42,239
You knew that Charlie said no.
205
00:13:43,240 --> 00:13:45,158
You knew that everyone knew.
206
00:13:45,325 --> 00:13:47,744
Moretti was losing
his mind to syphilis.
207
00:13:47,911 --> 00:13:49,037
You knew that.
208
00:13:49,204 --> 00:13:51,081
He was a risk to all of us.
209
00:13:52,874 --> 00:13:54,501
So...
210
00:13:55,502 --> 00:13:57,629
...you're taking
sides with Vito, then.
211
00:13:57,796 --> 00:14:00,507
Vito's just doing
whatever he needs to do.
212
00:14:00,674 --> 00:14:02,092
As for Frank,
213
00:14:02,259 --> 00:14:05,887
now, a lot of guys think he's
not capable to lead anymore.
214
00:14:09,850 --> 00:14:11,434
Then what about Charlie?
215
00:14:11,601 --> 00:14:13,144
Hmm?
216
00:14:13,311 --> 00:14:16,189
What about the man
who made you a boss?
217
00:14:17,190 --> 00:14:19,985
The man who let you live?
218
00:14:20,151 --> 00:14:21,778
You forget about that?
219
00:14:22,779 --> 00:14:25,282
He vetoed the
Moretti hit himself.
220
00:14:28,410 --> 00:14:31,121
He's in Italy, Meyer.
221
00:14:31,288 --> 00:14:33,456
And he's never coming back.
222
00:14:44,801 --> 00:14:47,512
One of the reasons why
Meyer Lansky was successful
223
00:14:47,679 --> 00:14:50,140
{\an8}is because as...
224
00:14:50,307 --> 00:14:53,977
{\an8}counterintuitive as it
sounds, he was honest.
225
00:14:54,144 --> 00:14:55,937
{\an8}He was an honest criminal.
226
00:15:07,866 --> 00:15:09,200
Hello?
227
00:15:09,367 --> 00:15:11,870
Look, it's not good,
Charlie. It's not good.
228
00:15:12,954 --> 00:15:15,206
Bonanno is backing Vito.
229
00:15:17,542 --> 00:15:19,336
The rest of them are, too.
230
00:15:20,503 --> 00:15:21,713
They think it's inevitable
231
00:15:21,880 --> 00:15:24,257
and they don't wanna be
the guy to stand in his way.
232
00:15:27,427 --> 00:15:30,931
I'm sorry, Charlie, I don't
know what else to do.
233
00:15:52,827 --> 00:15:55,705
With Luciano's influence
waning in New York,
234
00:15:55,872 --> 00:16:00,210
Gambino believes the time has
come to take on Frank Costello.
235
00:16:00,377 --> 00:16:01,878
But first,
236
00:16:02,045 --> 00:16:03,713
he'll need to convince Genovese
237
00:16:03,880 --> 00:16:06,675
that this is the moment
they've been waiting for.
238
00:16:06,841 --> 00:16:08,510
What's going on with Frank?
239
00:16:08,677 --> 00:16:11,429
The guy's losing his mind
over here, all right, Carlo?
240
00:16:12,847 --> 00:16:16,017
We're gonna have to
move on this sooner or later.
241
00:16:16,184 --> 00:16:18,687
We're gonna deal with Costello.
242
00:16:19,688 --> 00:16:21,106
Frank's falling apart.
243
00:16:21,272 --> 00:16:23,274
We got no choice.
244
00:16:36,788 --> 00:16:37,872
For Genovese,
245
00:16:38,039 --> 00:16:40,375
following through
with Gambino's plan...
246
00:16:41,584 --> 00:16:45,588
...means taking out a man
he's known for decades...
247
00:16:45,755 --> 00:16:48,258
Hey, Frank.
- Vito.
248
00:16:48,425 --> 00:16:50,802
I want you to meet my
associate, Charlie Luciano.
249
00:16:50,969 --> 00:16:52,178
Nice to meet you.
- Likewise.
250
00:16:52,345 --> 00:16:55,473
...and a member
of his original crew.
251
00:16:57,809 --> 00:17:00,603
On May 2nd, 1957...
252
00:17:01,730 --> 00:17:05,859
...Genovese orders notorious
hit man Vinny 'the Chin' Gigante...
253
00:17:07,652 --> 00:17:09,946
...to kill Frank Costello.
254
00:18:29,776 --> 00:18:31,861
In May of 1957,
255
00:18:32,028 --> 00:18:34,447
Frank Costello is
shot in the head...
256
00:18:36,574 --> 00:18:38,368
...and left to die.
257
00:18:45,208 --> 00:18:47,961
Despite taking
a.38 caliber bullet
258
00:18:48,128 --> 00:18:50,088
at near point-blank range,
259
00:18:50,255 --> 00:18:54,134
Costello miraculously survives.
260
00:19:06,729 --> 00:19:08,022
Hi, Frank.
261
00:19:10,525 --> 00:19:12,569
You come to finish
what you started?
262
00:19:24,497 --> 00:19:26,332
Doesn't have to be this way.
263
00:19:29,085 --> 00:19:30,962
You could retire.
264
00:19:31,129 --> 00:19:34,382
No one's gonna come
after you, I'll make sure of it.
265
00:19:36,092 --> 00:19:37,635
I'm not gonna
run out on Charlie.
266
00:19:37,802 --> 00:19:39,429
You're no good to him anymore.
267
00:19:41,097 --> 00:19:43,850
The Commission's done with you.
268
00:19:44,017 --> 00:19:45,435
It's just the way it happened.
269
00:19:54,444 --> 00:19:56,946
Sorry about this.
- Shut up, Vito.
270
00:20:06,706 --> 00:20:08,708
Although wounded and vulnerable,
271
00:20:08,875 --> 00:20:12,629
Frank Costello
refuses to back down.
272
00:20:14,547 --> 00:20:17,342
After recovering from
the assassination attempt,
273
00:20:17,508 --> 00:20:21,137
he reaches out to the one boss
of the New York crime families
274
00:20:21,304 --> 00:20:24,182
that he thinks will
still be loyal to him...
275
00:20:24,349 --> 00:20:26,601
Albert Anastasia.
276
00:20:26,768 --> 00:20:29,437
Vito won't quit till I'm
dead and he's boss.
277
00:20:29,604 --> 00:20:32,649
I need to know you have my back.
278
00:20:35,068 --> 00:20:36,778
I got your back.
279
00:20:38,154 --> 00:20:40,281
As long as you've got mine.
280
00:20:42,784 --> 00:20:45,495
{\an8}Anastasia doesn't
like the idea that...
281
00:20:45,662 --> 00:20:48,790
{\an8}Genovese tried to kill Costello.
282
00:20:48,957 --> 00:20:51,334
{\an8}So they have a mutual agreement.
283
00:20:53,169 --> 00:20:55,588
While Costello and
Anastasia form an alliance
284
00:20:55,755 --> 00:20:58,132
to protect the
Luciano crime family...
285
00:21:02,637 --> 00:21:06,099
...Anastasia's ambitious
underboss, Carlo Gambino,
286
00:21:06,266 --> 00:21:09,686
and Vito Genovese
step up their own plan.
287
00:21:09,852 --> 00:21:11,479
Frank's gotta be
scared to death.
288
00:21:12,605 --> 00:21:14,524
I mean, the guy's
heart wasn't in it before.
289
00:21:14,691 --> 00:21:17,860
What about Charlie?
- Ah, screw Charlie.
290
00:21:18,027 --> 00:21:20,613
Nobody gives a rat's ass
what he has to say anymore.
291
00:21:20,780 --> 00:21:23,616
He's got some loyal
men. He's got Anastasia.
292
00:21:23,783 --> 00:21:26,703
{\an8}Charlie gives Albert
the green light.
293
00:21:33,418 --> 00:21:36,713
{\an8}The old generation,
uh, believed in loyalty
294
00:21:36,879 --> 00:21:38,131
{\an8}and not turning
on their friends.
295
00:21:38,298 --> 00:21:40,508
Then the new
generation that came in,
296
00:21:40,675 --> 00:21:42,343
um...
297
00:21:42,510 --> 00:21:44,178
they'd do a hit in a minute.
298
00:21:51,894 --> 00:21:54,605
Yes, beautiful.
299
00:21:54,772 --> 00:21:55,940
Good.
300
00:21:56,107 --> 00:21:58,693
Can I take your hat for ya?
- There you go. Thank you.
301
00:22:01,696 --> 00:22:04,073
All right.
302
00:22:04,240 --> 00:22:06,492
How's the family?
- Good, good.
303
00:22:06,659 --> 00:22:09,746
They're not annoying me too much,
which is... which is always good.
304
00:22:09,912 --> 00:22:12,999
I understand. Married myself.
305
00:22:31,351 --> 00:22:32,977
Oh, boy.
- All right.
306
00:22:33,144 --> 00:22:35,480
Just relax and let me do my job.
307
00:22:52,789 --> 00:22:55,041
Excuse me, sir, I need to
go in the back for a moment.
308
00:22:55,208 --> 00:22:57,293
All right, don't be too long.
309
00:23:59,021 --> 00:24:00,523
All right.
310
00:24:05,194 --> 00:24:07,864
We're not gonna have to
worry about Anastasia anymore.
311
00:24:08,030 --> 00:24:10,700
In partnership
with Vito Genovese,
312
00:24:10,867 --> 00:24:14,912
Carlo Gambino has successfully
eliminated the head of his family,
313
00:24:15,079 --> 00:24:17,248
Albert Anastasia.
314
00:24:18,541 --> 00:24:21,335
It's one of the most brazen
murders in Mafia history.
315
00:24:21,502 --> 00:24:24,881
A boss of one of the
five New York families
316
00:24:25,047 --> 00:24:27,925
{\an8}has been gunned
down in broad daylight.
317
00:24:28,092 --> 00:24:30,887
{\an8}Albert Anastasia goes to
get a shave and a haircut
318
00:24:31,053 --> 00:24:33,222
{\an8}and he gets killed
in a barber chair.
319
00:24:33,389 --> 00:24:37,101
And it's very
much out in public.
320
00:24:37,268 --> 00:24:39,520
It's not a Mob hit
321
00:24:39,687 --> 00:24:41,564
where they've taken
you in the woods.
322
00:24:41,731 --> 00:24:44,650
It's happened right there in
the middle of New York City.
323
00:24:44,817 --> 00:24:46,652
That's one of the
reasons it's iconic.
324
00:24:46,819 --> 00:24:48,070
It's so visible.
325
00:24:49,572 --> 00:24:51,908
Gambino's bold
plan has paid off.
326
00:24:52,909 --> 00:24:54,577
By taking out Anastasia,
327
00:24:54,744 --> 00:24:56,662
he's gone from
mid-level gangster
328
00:24:56,829 --> 00:25:00,583
to the head of his
own crime family.
329
00:25:00,750 --> 00:25:02,293
Congratulations.
330
00:25:03,961 --> 00:25:07,048
And the Gambino family is born.
331
00:25:07,215 --> 00:25:10,259
{\an8}Carlo Gambino was a prime mover.
332
00:25:10,426 --> 00:25:12,178
{\an8}Genovese and Gambino were close.
333
00:25:12,345 --> 00:25:15,139
{\an8}They decide they
have to hit Anastasia.
334
00:25:15,306 --> 00:25:17,266
It clears the way
for both of them.
335
00:25:24,732 --> 00:25:26,776
After an attempt on his life
336
00:25:26,943 --> 00:25:29,904
and the murder of his only
ally on the Commission,
337
00:25:30,071 --> 00:25:32,949
Frank Costello
does the unthinkable.
338
00:25:33,950 --> 00:25:35,826
With Lucky Luciano's approval,
339
00:25:35,993 --> 00:25:40,122
Costello ends his 20-year
reign as the head of the family.
340
00:25:41,123 --> 00:25:44,293
{\an8}Frank goes and
visits the Commission
341
00:25:44,460 --> 00:25:48,798
{\an8}and says, 'Look, I wanna retire.
342
00:25:49,966 --> 00:25:52,093
{\an8}I will have nothing to
do with this ever again.'
343
00:25:52,260 --> 00:25:55,388
Frank Costello
retired from the Mafia
344
00:25:55,555 --> 00:25:57,515
as an elder statesman.
345
00:25:58,975 --> 00:26:00,810
Only one that I can think of,
346
00:26:00,977 --> 00:26:02,186
at least in those days,
347
00:26:02,353 --> 00:26:03,854
who was ever allowed to retire.
348
00:26:06,607 --> 00:26:08,317
And the reason
they trusted him was
349
00:26:08,484 --> 00:26:11,112
he didn't give up the
guy who tried to, uh...
350
00:26:11,279 --> 00:26:12,989
tried to knock him off.
351
00:26:31,507 --> 00:26:35,177
Two decades after losing
his position as acting boss,
352
00:26:35,344 --> 00:26:37,888
Vito Genovese
forcefully takes his seat
353
00:26:38,055 --> 00:26:40,641
at the head of the
Luciano crime family.
354
00:26:40,808 --> 00:26:42,768
Take this away.
Bring me another one.
355
00:26:44,645 --> 00:26:46,439
And with Luciano in Italy
356
00:26:46,606 --> 00:26:48,691
and Costello out of the picture,
357
00:26:49,692 --> 00:26:52,028
Genovese calls a secret meeting
358
00:26:52,194 --> 00:26:55,656
to announce the creation of
the Genovese crime family.
359
00:27:02,955 --> 00:27:05,207
In the fall of 1957,
360
00:27:05,374 --> 00:27:08,252
Genovese invites mobsters
from around the country
361
00:27:09,253 --> 00:27:11,130
to upstate New York.
362
00:27:11,297 --> 00:27:15,009
Vito Genovese decided there
would be an emergency meeting
363
00:27:15,176 --> 00:27:18,721
of the major crime
bosses from coast to coast
364
00:27:18,888 --> 00:27:21,307
in a deserted farm area
365
00:27:21,474 --> 00:27:23,225
called Apalachin, New York.
366
00:27:23,392 --> 00:27:25,353
There was no real
law enforcement
367
00:27:25,519 --> 00:27:27,146
and they thought they
would be very safe.
368
00:27:27,313 --> 00:27:29,315
Hey, Tommy. How are ya?
369
00:27:29,482 --> 00:27:32,193
Get over here. What
do you think of the place?
370
00:27:32,360 --> 00:27:34,070
Nice, huh? It's like
being on vacation, right?
371
00:27:36,781 --> 00:27:38,616
Congratulations, Vito.
- Thank you.
372
00:27:38,783 --> 00:27:41,327
He did pass away.
He did pass away.
373
00:27:41,494 --> 00:27:42,912
Hey, there he is.
How ya doing, pal?
374
00:27:43,079 --> 00:27:44,372
How you been, all right?
Good to see you again.
375
00:27:44,538 --> 00:27:46,082
The Mob gets together
376
00:27:46,248 --> 00:27:48,000
to divvy up, in a sense,
377
00:27:48,167 --> 00:27:50,211
what Anastasia had left behind
378
00:27:50,378 --> 00:27:53,547
and what Luciano isn't
able to control so well
379
00:27:53,714 --> 00:27:54,757
now that he's back in Italy.
380
00:27:54,924 --> 00:27:56,175
Cheers to that, guys.
381
00:27:56,342 --> 00:27:57,968
Get a drink, get a
drink. Have a good time.
382
00:27:58,135 --> 00:27:59,595
We're here to have a
good time. Celebrate.
383
00:27:59,762 --> 00:28:01,222
Thanks for coming
up, appreciate it.
384
00:28:01,389 --> 00:28:02,807
Those who were
heads of families,
385
00:28:02,973 --> 00:28:05,935
they had a... a ego,
a real sense of self.
386
00:28:06,102 --> 00:28:09,605
{\an8}They sold themselves
as an alpha male,
387
00:28:09,772 --> 00:28:12,274
{\an8}a leader.
388
00:28:12,441 --> 00:28:14,652
{\an8}And they had that...
that belief in self.
389
00:28:14,819 --> 00:28:16,445
Hey, how are ya, pal?
390
00:28:16,612 --> 00:28:19,615
What are you doing?
391
00:28:19,782 --> 00:28:23,285
Genovese's lavish
party in honor of himself
392
00:28:23,452 --> 00:28:26,372
draws more than 100
major crime figures.
393
00:28:27,415 --> 00:28:28,749
But the big get-together
394
00:28:28,916 --> 00:28:32,461
draws the attention of
more than just the Mob.
395
00:28:38,634 --> 00:28:40,553
And what started
as a celebration...
396
00:28:41,554 --> 00:28:44,557
...is about to
become a disaster.
397
00:28:54,483 --> 00:28:56,652
In the fall of 1957,
398
00:28:56,819 --> 00:29:00,656
Vito Genovese calls the most
powerful mobsters in America
399
00:29:00,823 --> 00:29:04,535
to a meeting at a secluded
farmhouse in upstate New York...
400
00:29:06,829 --> 00:29:10,332
...to confirm his status
as the head of the Mafia.
401
00:29:10,499 --> 00:29:11,542
It's good?
402
00:29:11,709 --> 00:29:13,169
Thanks for coming
up, appreciate it.
403
00:29:15,004 --> 00:29:18,507
But the gathering
doesn't go unnoticed.
404
00:29:22,011 --> 00:29:23,220
{\an8}What happened was
405
00:29:23,387 --> 00:29:27,349
{\an8}a state trooper noticed there
was a lot of strange people
406
00:29:27,516 --> 00:29:29,351
{\an8}checking into a motel
407
00:29:29,518 --> 00:29:32,897
and a lot of big limousines
were pulling into this town
408
00:29:33,063 --> 00:29:35,024
and all heading for this farm.
409
00:29:36,025 --> 00:29:38,736
And he decided
this was worth the...
410
00:29:38,903 --> 00:29:41,363
some... some inspection.
411
00:29:49,455 --> 00:29:52,249
And he called for backup
from the state police
412
00:29:52,416 --> 00:29:55,211
to surround this farmhouse.
413
00:30:05,054 --> 00:30:06,347
Cops! Cops! Get out of here!
414
00:30:06,514 --> 00:30:08,724
Get out of here,
there's cops! Go, go, go!
415
00:30:10,601 --> 00:30:12,061
Shit!
416
00:30:28,202 --> 00:30:30,246
Freeze!
- Ah!
417
00:30:41,257 --> 00:30:43,884
There were major crime
bosses and their minions.
418
00:30:44,051 --> 00:30:46,971
About 70 people in
there started scattering.
419
00:30:49,974 --> 00:30:53,811
Some of them were rounded
up and it led to some indictment.
420
00:30:54,937 --> 00:30:58,357
It put the Mafia
really on page one.
421
00:30:58,524 --> 00:31:00,359
This was terrible.
422
00:31:02,236 --> 00:31:06,115
20 gangsters are arrested and
charged with obstruction of justice,
423
00:31:06,282 --> 00:31:08,617
making headlines
around the country.
424
00:31:10,494 --> 00:31:13,163
And while the charges
are later dropped,
425
00:31:13,330 --> 00:31:17,251
the meeting that was meant to
announce his dominance of the Mafia
426
00:31:17,418 --> 00:31:20,588
has turned into a major
embarrassment for Genovese.
427
00:31:25,718 --> 00:31:27,553
Mobsters do make mistakes.
428
00:31:27,720 --> 00:31:31,056
The question is whether they
can overcome the mistake.
429
00:31:32,099 --> 00:31:35,644
{\an8}Vito Genovese made the
mistake of getting noticed
430
00:31:35,811 --> 00:31:38,147
{\an8}and it is going to go a long way
431
00:31:38,314 --> 00:31:42,651
{\an8}toward reducing Genovese's
impact and influence.
432
00:31:51,744 --> 00:31:52,953
For Luciano,
433
00:31:53,120 --> 00:31:54,455
the botched Mafia summit
434
00:31:54,622 --> 00:31:58,751
is just another blemish on
Genovese's list of failures.
435
00:31:58,918 --> 00:32:01,670
And the unpredictable
Mob boss is threatening
436
00:32:01,837 --> 00:32:05,215
to destroy everything
Luciano's built.
437
00:32:06,634 --> 00:32:08,427
Luciano felt that Genovese
438
00:32:08,594 --> 00:32:11,430
had brought
disrepute to the Mob.
439
00:32:11,597 --> 00:32:13,682
{\an8}He wanted Genovese done.
440
00:32:13,849 --> 00:32:14,892
{\an8}Finished.
441
00:32:15,059 --> 00:32:18,228
{\an8}But Luciano is about
to get the help he needs
442
00:32:18,395 --> 00:32:20,731
from an unexpected visitor,
443
00:32:20,898 --> 00:32:24,234
the man who's been
Genovese's closest ally,
444
00:32:24,401 --> 00:32:26,612
Carlo Gambino.
445
00:32:31,659 --> 00:32:33,869
After the Apalachin debacle,
446
00:32:34,036 --> 00:32:37,206
Gambino sees an opportunity
to use Genovese's failure
447
00:32:37,373 --> 00:32:38,958
to his advantage.
448
00:32:40,459 --> 00:32:41,961
We need to make some changes.
449
00:32:45,172 --> 00:32:46,674
What do you wanna do, Carlo?
450
00:32:46,840 --> 00:32:48,425
Send him away for life.
451
00:32:48,592 --> 00:32:51,887
Put him behind some bars
in a cage where he belongs.
452
00:32:55,808 --> 00:33:00,229
Luciano realizes he's working
with a master strategist.
453
00:33:01,438 --> 00:33:05,609
He's watched Gambino rise through
the ranks of the New York Mafia
454
00:33:05,776 --> 00:33:08,487
by any means necessary,
455
00:33:08,654 --> 00:33:12,241
the same way Luciano
did decades earlier.
456
00:33:12,408 --> 00:33:17,246
And now the gangster is
about to make his final play.
457
00:33:18,414 --> 00:33:22,084
Luciano has every reason
to get rid of Genovese.
458
00:33:22,251 --> 00:33:23,919
But he knows if he does,
459
00:33:24,086 --> 00:33:27,297
he's effectively
giving Gambino control
460
00:33:27,464 --> 00:33:29,466
of the American Mafia.
461
00:33:39,768 --> 00:33:41,311
Lucky Luciano must decide
462
00:33:41,478 --> 00:33:44,815
whether getting rid of
Vito Genovese for good
463
00:33:44,982 --> 00:33:47,985
is worth giving up the
power of the New York Mafia
464
00:33:48,152 --> 00:33:50,446
to Carlo Gambino.
465
00:33:54,158 --> 00:33:58,454
For years, Carlo Gambino
has been Luciano's bitter rival,
466
00:33:59,455 --> 00:34:02,166
having arranged the
murders of two of his allies,
467
00:34:02,332 --> 00:34:05,461
Willie Moretti and
Albert Anastasia,
468
00:34:05,627 --> 00:34:10,090
and ordering the failed hit on
one of Luciano's closest friends,
469
00:34:10,257 --> 00:34:12,217
Frank Costello.
470
00:34:15,846 --> 00:34:20,142
But Luciano respects the
gangster's fearless tactics.
471
00:34:20,309 --> 00:34:22,311
Costello may have been smart
472
00:34:22,478 --> 00:34:24,772
and Genovese may
have been cutthroat,
473
00:34:24,938 --> 00:34:27,107
but Gambino was both,
474
00:34:27,274 --> 00:34:29,443
just like Luciano.
475
00:34:31,820 --> 00:34:33,822
Genovese's reign as boss
476
00:34:33,989 --> 00:34:36,033
is about to come to an end.
477
00:34:41,497 --> 00:34:44,625
Gambino and
Luciano create a plan
478
00:34:44,792 --> 00:34:47,336
to get Vito Genovese
out of the picture for good.
479
00:34:48,337 --> 00:34:50,130
International call, New York.
480
00:35:03,352 --> 00:35:07,231
{\an8}Lucky Luciano conspired to
put Vito Genovese in prison
481
00:35:07,397 --> 00:35:09,066
{\an8}by sort of dropping
a dime on him...
482
00:35:10,943 --> 00:35:12,027
{\an8}...making an anonymous call
483
00:35:12,194 --> 00:35:14,530
about who was dealing
heroin in America.
484
00:35:22,621 --> 00:35:24,873
Vito Genovese is found guilty
485
00:35:25,040 --> 00:35:27,417
of smuggling and
distributing narcotics...
486
00:35:28,836 --> 00:35:31,672
...and is sentenced
to 15 years in prison.
487
00:35:38,554 --> 00:35:40,222
In one swift move,
488
00:35:40,389 --> 00:35:43,392
Luciano has gotten
rid of his biggest rival
489
00:35:43,559 --> 00:35:46,395
and placed the
organization he created
490
00:35:46,562 --> 00:35:48,897
into the hands of Carlo Gambino,
491
00:35:49,982 --> 00:35:52,234
the man he believes is most able
492
00:35:52,401 --> 00:35:54,695
to lead the Mafia
into the future.
493
00:35:58,490 --> 00:35:59,950
With Luciano's blessing,
494
00:36:00,117 --> 00:36:03,537
Carlo Gambino becomes the
new head of the Commission...
495
00:36:06,165 --> 00:36:09,918
...ushering in a new era
of the American Mafia.
496
00:36:22,472 --> 00:36:24,224
While he's given up his power,
497
00:36:24,391 --> 00:36:27,436
Luciano remains influential
in the underworld...
498
00:36:29,313 --> 00:36:31,982
...and settles into a
lasting relationship...
499
00:36:34,276 --> 00:36:35,277
Good morning.
500
00:36:35,444 --> 00:36:38,780
...with Italian
dancer Igea Lissoni.
501
00:36:38,947 --> 00:36:40,657
{\an8}Luciano never married.
502
00:36:40,824 --> 00:36:44,453
{\an8}In fact, he didn't really have
a long-standing relationship
503
00:36:44,620 --> 00:36:47,915
{\an8}until he was in Italy with Igea.
504
00:36:49,333 --> 00:36:52,377
I think Lucky's
involvement with Igea
505
00:36:52,544 --> 00:36:56,965
may be the one
really close attachment
506
00:36:57,132 --> 00:36:58,550
he had ever formed.
507
00:36:58,717 --> 00:37:01,511
This was someone
he cared about deeply.
508
00:37:02,512 --> 00:37:05,766
On January 26th, 1962,
509
00:37:05,933 --> 00:37:08,644
three years after Igea passes...
510
00:37:12,689 --> 00:37:15,275
...and having lived a
life unlike any other,
511
00:37:16,276 --> 00:37:20,489
Charles 'Lucky' Luciano dies
suddenly of a heart attack in Naples
512
00:37:20,656 --> 00:37:22,741
at the age of 64.
513
00:37:26,370 --> 00:37:29,998
News of the criminal
kingpin's death spreads quickly.
514
00:37:32,167 --> 00:37:35,170
Hundreds line the streets of
Naples to pay their respects
515
00:37:35,337 --> 00:37:38,924
to the man responsible for
creating the modern Mafia.
516
00:37:40,509 --> 00:37:44,137
And nearly 16 years
after being deported,
517
00:37:44,304 --> 00:37:46,974
Luciano finally gets his wish...
518
00:37:48,183 --> 00:37:50,185
...of returning to America
519
00:37:50,352 --> 00:37:52,187
{\an8}one last time.
520
00:37:57,943 --> 00:38:01,363
{\an8}I'd like to say a few words about
a great man and a dear friend,
521
00:38:01,530 --> 00:38:04,866
{\an8}Salvatore Luciana.
522
00:38:05,033 --> 00:38:07,536
Charlie Luciano.
523
00:38:07,703 --> 00:38:08,996
Lucky.
524
00:38:10,539 --> 00:38:12,874
I've known many
people in my days.
525
00:38:14,334 --> 00:38:15,836
But there was only
one time when I knew
526
00:38:16,003 --> 00:38:18,088
I was in the
presence of greatness,
527
00:38:18,255 --> 00:38:20,340
and that's when
I stood in a room
528
00:38:20,507 --> 00:38:22,759
{\an8}with Lucky Luciano.
529
00:38:23,927 --> 00:38:27,347
{\an8}Lucky Luciano worked
his way up from the bottom.
530
00:38:27,514 --> 00:38:30,183
{\an8}And when he became the boss,
531
00:38:30,350 --> 00:38:33,979
he had the respect of
everybody from all the families
532
00:38:34,146 --> 00:38:36,106
because of how he
worked his way up.
533
00:38:36,273 --> 00:38:40,068
And he was able to, uh, one,
make money for everybody,
534
00:38:40,235 --> 00:38:42,195
keep everybody alive,
535
00:38:42,362 --> 00:38:44,489
take care of everybody's family.
536
00:38:47,743 --> 00:38:50,746
The death of Luciano
signals the end of an era...
537
00:38:51,997 --> 00:38:56,585
...as one by one his original
crew begins to fade into history.
538
00:38:56,752 --> 00:39:00,339
Vito Genovese spends
the rest of his life in prison
539
00:39:00,505 --> 00:39:03,091
where he'll continue
to run his crime family
540
00:39:03,258 --> 00:39:06,845
until he dies in 1969.
541
00:39:07,012 --> 00:39:10,015
He's buried just 100
feet from his boss
542
00:39:10,182 --> 00:39:13,018
and greatest rival, Luciano.
543
00:39:13,185 --> 00:39:15,937
{\an8}Vito Genovese probably thought
544
00:39:16,104 --> 00:39:19,775
{\an8}that he was the closest thing
to another Lucky Luciano.
545
00:39:19,941 --> 00:39:22,694
{\an8}I don't think Vito
rose to that level.
546
00:39:25,238 --> 00:39:28,533
Frank Costello lives out
his retirement in peace,
547
00:39:29,576 --> 00:39:32,371
remaining an influential
figure in the New York Mafia.
548
00:39:33,372 --> 00:39:34,581
{\an8}To understand Frank Costello,
549
00:39:34,748 --> 00:39:37,125
{\an8}you have to understand
that he craved respect.
550
00:39:38,377 --> 00:39:41,671
{\an8}He had one foot in the underworld,
one foot in the legitimate world.
551
00:39:41,838 --> 00:39:43,298
And as a result,
552
00:39:43,465 --> 00:39:44,633
Frank Costello becomes known
553
00:39:44,800 --> 00:39:47,427
as the 'Prime Minister
of the Underworld.'
554
00:39:48,428 --> 00:39:49,971
In 1973,
555
00:39:50,138 --> 00:39:53,433
Costello passes away in
his Manhattan apartment.
556
00:39:56,144 --> 00:39:59,064
Meyer Lansky
retires to Miami Beach
557
00:39:59,231 --> 00:40:01,608
where he lives
well into his old age.
558
00:40:01,775 --> 00:40:03,276
If I were President,
559
00:40:03,443 --> 00:40:06,655
{\an8}I would've named Meyer
Lansky Secretary of State
560
00:40:06,822 --> 00:40:08,281
{\an8}and Secretary of the Treasury,
561
00:40:08,448 --> 00:40:10,534
{\an8}never mind that he
can't have both jobs.
562
00:40:10,700 --> 00:40:13,286
The treasury, he would've
gotten the budget balanced.
563
00:40:13,453 --> 00:40:15,414
State, we could've sent
him to the Middle East.
564
00:40:15,580 --> 00:40:16,581
He would've solved it.
565
00:40:16,748 --> 00:40:19,334
I'm not going to say
that I would've agreed
566
00:40:19,501 --> 00:40:21,336
with everything
Meyer Lansky did.
567
00:40:21,503 --> 00:40:23,839
But I would say that I
wouldn't have minded
568
00:40:24,005 --> 00:40:25,674
having him on my side.
569
00:40:25,841 --> 00:40:28,844
Lansky dies in 1983
570
00:40:29,010 --> 00:40:32,389
with only $37,000 to his name...
571
00:40:34,057 --> 00:40:35,809
...although the FBI believes
572
00:40:35,976 --> 00:40:37,978
he stashed away
more than 300 million
573
00:40:38,145 --> 00:40:39,855
in secret bank accounts.
574
00:40:45,110 --> 00:40:46,987
In just over half a century,
575
00:40:47,154 --> 00:40:50,198
Lucky Luciano, Frank Costello,
576
00:40:50,365 --> 00:40:53,243
Meyer Lansky, Bugsy Siegel,
577
00:40:53,410 --> 00:40:55,120
and Vito Genovese
578
00:40:55,287 --> 00:40:58,081
worked together to become
the most successful criminals
579
00:40:58,248 --> 00:40:59,291
the world has ever known,
580
00:40:59,458 --> 00:41:03,336
organizing crime into a
multimillion-dollar industry
581
00:41:03,503 --> 00:41:05,547
and leaving behind a legacy
582
00:41:05,714 --> 00:41:09,092
that forever changes America.
583
00:41:09,259 --> 00:41:13,180
The Mafia became
an avenue to success.
584
00:41:13,346 --> 00:41:15,140
{\an8}And in its own way,
585
00:41:15,307 --> 00:41:17,976
{\an8}it was a recapitulation
of the American Dream.
586
00:41:18,143 --> 00:41:20,103
{\an8}You come to America,
587
00:41:20,270 --> 00:41:22,689
you work hard, you work smart,
588
00:41:22,856 --> 00:41:26,151
and in time success
rewards your endeavors.
589
00:41:26,318 --> 00:41:29,112
There is a certain ruthlessness.
590
00:41:29,279 --> 00:41:32,407
There's a certain willingness
to do whatever it takes.
591
00:41:32,574 --> 00:41:33,909
And they're
surviving on their wits,
592
00:41:34,075 --> 00:41:36,745
they're surviving
on their guile,
593
00:41:36,912 --> 00:41:38,580
and these were the
charismatic mobsters.
594
00:41:38,747 --> 00:41:40,957
The funny thing about the Mafia
595
00:41:41,124 --> 00:41:42,918
is there's all this
mythology around it
596
00:41:43,084 --> 00:41:45,128
about Sicily and the old world.
597
00:41:45,295 --> 00:41:48,590
Really, the Mafia that we
know is as American as jazz.
598
00:41:48,757 --> 00:41:51,510
It's about this
mixed group of guys.
599
00:41:51,676 --> 00:41:54,262
They turned crime
into big business.
600
00:41:57,641 --> 00:42:00,060
This street-level group of thugs
601
00:42:00,227 --> 00:42:03,772
organized into a very
sophisticated organization.
602
00:42:03,939 --> 00:42:06,316
It infiltrated the unions,
603
00:42:06,483 --> 00:42:07,901
it infiltrated politics,
604
00:42:08,068 --> 00:42:09,653
it infiltrated Hollywood.
605
00:42:09,819 --> 00:42:11,780
I can't think of another example
606
00:42:11,947 --> 00:42:13,198
of an organized crime group
607
00:42:13,365 --> 00:42:15,617
that had the grip the
Mafia had on America.
608
00:42:15,784 --> 00:42:17,410
Totally criminal,
609
00:42:17,577 --> 00:42:18,787
totally amoral,
610
00:42:18,954 --> 00:42:20,622
totally horrible,
611
00:42:20,789 --> 00:42:22,249
but totally brilliant.
